Patient's question:
I used to have my period around the 10th of the month. The abortion was on the 17th of last month, but after the procedure, it's already the 15th of this month, and I still haven't had my period. I'm a bit suspicious that the abortion might not have been completely effective. Should I go to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
Post-abortion, there is some damage to the endometrium. Generally, menstruation will return to normal around 42 days after the procedure. In your case, you can temporarily wait and see. If menstruation still hasn't arrived after an extended period of time, it's recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound to check the condition of the endometrium and undergo a test for six hormones to rule out the possibility of endocrine disorders. It's important to rest more, avoid overexertion, and maintain a regular diet.
